Da Kink In My Hair

It's a Saturday - one of the busiest days in the salon and Novelette discovers that Joy hasn't filled in the appointment book. Everyone is surprised when a high class wedding party arrives unannounced and the snooty mother of the bride, Ms. Mavis, expects preferential treatment.

When Joy turns a staid, older woman's hair into an outrageous dance-hall style, Novelette admonishes her staff and allows Starr to try her hand at fixing the 'do, much to Joy's chagrin.

It's the hottest day of the year - in Toronto, and in the shop. Caribana has filled the city with exciting visitors and sexy festivities. Everyone's off to the parties - all except Starr, that is.

A reporter from Toronto's top Caribbean magazine, Caribbean Community Corner, interviews Novelette for a spot in their upcoming issue on 'Women of Distinction'.

It's obvious to everyone but the Campbell sisters that Dwayne, the hair care salesman, is interested in Novelette. Joy makes a pass at him and Nigel saves her from the humiliation of rejection by feigning his interest in her.

On a Saturday morning, before the shop opens, Starr catches Nigel at a cheque- cashing place and the sparks fly when she accuses him of sending money to another girl back home. This time Nigel's answer is serious and when Starr sees him helping Dre with his chores, she realizes she may have judged him too quickly. Joy attacks Novelette for her conservative ways and it becomes increasingly apparent the two sisters are really getting under each other's skin. In the mirror story, a woman who's embarrassed by her alopecia finally gets up the nerve to confess to her boyfriend that she has been wearing a wig.
